    TITLE: ANTIBIOTICS IN ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFICATION OF RISK FACTORS FOR POSTOPERATIVE INFECTION: AUTHOR/S: P. VAN CAMP, L. VERSTRAETE, B. VAN LOON, J. SCHEERLINCK, E. NOUT. CITATION: INT. J. ORAL MAXILLOFAC. SURG. 2021; 50: 643¿648. HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.1016/J.IJOM.2020.09.024. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE THE INFECTION RATE AT ELISABETH-TWEESTEDEN- HOSPITAL, TILBURG, THE NETHERLANDS AND TO COMPARE THIS TO RATES REPORTED IN THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE LITERATURE. IN ADDITION, POSSIBLE RISK FACTORS FOR INFECTION AND THE REMOVAL OF OSTEOSYNTHESIS MATERIAL WERE IDENTIFIED. A TOTAL OF 137 PATIENTS, 51 (37.2%) MALE AND 86 (62.8%) FEMALE UNDERGOING ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY (LE FORT I OSTEOTOMY (LFI), BILATERAL SAGITTAL SPLIT OSTEOTOMY (BSSO), AND BIMAXILLARY OSTEOTOMY) AT THE STUDY INSTITUTE BETWEEN AUGUST 1, 2017 AND JULY 31, 2018 WERE INCLUDED. STANDARDIZED LFI OSTEOTOMIES WERE PERFORMED USING A RECIPROCATING SAW. AFTER PTERYGOMAXILLARY DISJUNCTION, DOWN FRACTURE WAS PERFORMED. THE UPPER JAW WAS POSITIONED AND FIXED WITH MINIPLATES (1.5 SYSTEM; KLS MARTIN, TUTTLINGEN, GERMANY). A STANDARD BSSO WAS PER- FORMED USING THE HUNSUCK¿EPKER MODIFICATION14,13. AFTERBILATERALSPLIT, FIXATION WAS PERFORMED USING MINIPLATES (2.0 SYSTEM; KLS MARTIN, TUTTLINGEN, GERMANY). SLIDING GENIOPLASTIES WERE CONDUCTED WITH A RECIP- ROCATING SAW AND FIXED WITH CHIN PLATES (KLS MARTIN, TUTTLINGEN, GERMANY). IF THIRD MOLAR TEETH WERE REMOVED DURING SURGERY, THE NORMAL OSTEOTOMIES WERE COMMENCED. UPON VISUALIZATION OF THE TOOTH, LUXATION AND REMOVAL WAS ACCOMPLISHED. ALL WOUNDS WERE CLOSED WITH RESORBABLE POLYGLACTIN SUTURES (VICRYL RAPIDE 3¿0;JOHNSON & JOHNSON, NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY USA). DRAINS WERE NEVER USED. NO FOREIGN MATERIAL WAS PLACED IN BETWEEN THE OSTEOTOMY SITES. REPORTED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED: A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) MALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) MALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) MALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) MALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) MALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) MALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) MALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED FPOSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS, A (B)(6) MALE PATIENT EXPERIENCED FPOSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS. IN CONCLUSION, THIS STUDY SHOWED AN INFECTION RATE OF 14.6% WITH NO LINK TO ANY DEMOGRAPHIC RISK FACTOR. NEITHER THE SIMULTANEOUS REMOVAL OF THIRD MOLAR TEETH NOR GENIOPLASTY WAS FOUND TO BE A RISK FACTOR FOR SSI. FOR LITERATURE COMPARISON PURPOSES, THERE IS A CLEAR NEED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES DEFINING SSI TO BE USED.
